Since, by the way, she’s a keyboard girl now, or so she says. She’s recording, writing, exploring, learning, replicating, programming, and performing. I hope to capture some video of her playing around, which she does daily, but in the mean time, she’s actually taken some of her own videos. Hoping to get them off her […]
AM PM Atmospheric
Oh, to grasp the difference between AM and PM… and the atmosphere on our way to Bristol Head

And here was our afternoon… We talked about Africa, primarily Eastern Africa, and the region surrounding Kenya, where a friend Lily made last fall spends a fair portion of her time. We also read: We’re exploring these topics, specifically on a global perspective. She’s learned that 100 cents = 1 dollar, and we’re […]
Electromagnetism
Electric Fields inside and outside a Magnetized Cold Plasma Sphere One of the four fundamental forces, the electromagnetic force manifests itself through the forces between charges (Coulomb’s Law) and the magnetic force, both of which are summarized in the Lorentz force law. Fundamentally, both magnetic and electric forces are manifestations of an […]
Dragonbox Algebra
Some of the stuff we’re learning concerning electromagnetism is exposing Lils to new items: lots of formulas and equations. In our discussions on fractals and visual representations of math (including geometry), we have only scratched the surface of equations, but she’s seen the images/equations, and their results (as the computer generates imagery based upon a […]

Lily has decided she likes coffee.. imagine that. Does Caffeine Affect Growth Hormone Release? By Joseph PritchardSep 08, 2011 Slide 2 of 2 Contrary to popular belief, caffeine does not stunt growth. Instead, caffeine seems to stimulate growth hormone release, according to a study published in the 1984 issue of the “Journal of Endocrinological Investigation.” If caffeine stimulates […]
Plasma Lightsabers?

Revisiting the Compass
We’re exploring the history of the last two thousand years or so, and beyond… We reached the year 300, in which we learned the Chinese invented the magnetic compass, later turned into a navigational tool around 1000. A few years back, Lily made a compass out of a little boat in a bowl of water. […]
Wheatgrass and Smart Plants and Snails
Plants communicate, with each other and with us.
Titanic, Hindenburg, H2O, and Plasma
We began our day talking about H2O, then discussed the Titanic, then the Hindenburg, then Mark Twain, then helium, then steam and how the Titanic was powered, which led to evaporation and the water cycle, and how snow is formed. We then studied snow under the microscope, and then onto the Plasma ball and conductivity. […]
